As many of you know last week I lost a very special lady in our lives. My grandmother passed away on Monday. Sunday morning I got a call that my mamaw had, had a massive heart attack and my sister asked me if I would be going down there. I told her Yes, hung up the phone, packed up me and the kids (John can pack his own clothes) in less than an hour. And we were off for Florida.
I was not expecting my mamaw to pass away, but The Lord took her home. John was excellent keeping the kids entertained while my mom, sister, and I cried our eyes out or just needed that time to ourselves. And she did manage to get us all together. So in a way even though her passing was sad, so many good things came out of it. I felt so sad because she wanted to see the kids, but the ICU only allows 10 and older.
I remember always going over to her apartment and she would have a drawer full of happy meal toys for us. And that always made us smile. I was so excited when my mom and her came to visit us in August. I was worried she wouldn't last the tour of Washington D.C. we had planned. But she stuck it out and we enjoyed seeing all the sites. But she didn't like the subway at all.She did however fall i love the mountains.
But, she did buy a pair of my earrings when she was here. I still have her Thank You card hanging on the bulletin board.(Actually I just pulled it off to read it one more time).
On Tuesday morning we got back from Florida and I went straight to work filling orders, because I had my computer with me on the trip, so I knew what to expect when we got back.
I find in difficult times or sad times I like to keep myself busy. I knew when we got back I wouldn't
have much time to grieve and I don't think she would of wanted it that way.
So, today I started back to work...Booking shows, working with the new supplies that came in, Sales and Expense reports, and networking.
This is what I came up with today:
Copper Rings
Fancy Bobs
And for my grandma who enjoyed my earrings so much just because I had made them...More earrings
